when Ibraham was burning and raassacreing. He therefore took his attendants of the garrison of Missolonghi, the lonian Phalanx, the Cephalonian and Zante corps, and others, and hastened against the enemy. But he had proceeded only a little way when he saw the enemy was returning force towards Calybia, from St. John against Astros. He therefore turned back and occupied before the enemy the newly built wall in Astros. The enemy arrived and took a po-1 sition in Calybia, extending to the vineyards and the whole plain of Astros. On the 16th of this month 1,000 regu lar infantry and 300 cavalry, advanced against the walls, but were bravely received, ,and retreated to the camp after some loss. On the 17th the enemy with his whole force posted himself near the walls in the vineyards, with the intention, as it seems, to make a more serious attack on the wall. Meanwhile assistance was sent' from Napoli, under Generals Agalopulo and Christo Colocotroni, with ammunition and two cannon, and if troops arrive in time from the camp near Corinth, Ibrahim will pay dearly for the mischief he has done, and his rash, rather than well calculated march, will prove ruinous to himself. On the 18th instant, early in the morning, the enemy in three divisions advanced against Astros, where General Nikita is with 800 men. A small cannon was to receive the enemy, but it un fortunately burst after the fifth shot, and killed the best German, Zachareas ' and slightly wounded two others.— Zachare a s h a d sen t four of the enemy to Hades with his little cannon before he was himself killed by the accident. When the enemy saw that the fire of this gun had ceased, they marched forward with greater impetuosity, but the intrepid Nikita having ordered the soldiers to the proper positious, came down and sent fifty men only into the plain, watching, himself, the motions of the enemy. These few bravesaen contended for above two hours with the cavalry, not defended by walls,' but man to man, killed some and wounded others, without receiving themselves any injury. Th. next day the enemyall withdrew from , Calybia towards St. John : when the Greeks saw the enemy retire, they histen ed after them, and overtook part ofthe cavalry in Calybia , but the latt er did not wait for the attack. On this occasionthree prisoners recovered their liberty. M. Rita waited for Il Koliopulo, the brave John T. Colocotroni, and Apos toll Colocotroni, to march together against the enemy. When the enemy came to Calybia, near St. John, General P. Saffiropulo, with a few men, shut himself up in the port of Astro ; General Steiko Stankopulo hastened to his relief, and fought bravely, in all the actions that took place. He had also written to those at Napoli to summon them to march against the enemy, and he is again ready to hasten, whenever his duty as a soldier may call him.

Id es n.C. Herring, Wm. Graham, and J. D. Powlee. We endeavoured the day before yesterday to expose the error into which our cotemporary, the Times, had lan e" , by assuming that the present value of the an-, Unity 6f 2,800,0001. assigned to the trustees for the Payment of Pensions and Superannuation:, was an ac tual addition to the funded debt of the country to that amount and we trust that we clearly and satisfactorily Showed, that upon the most extended view of the sub ject which could be taken, the actual addition which had boen made by this " Dead Weight Scheme " to t he funded debt, could not be estimated at a larger $lllll than the nresent value of that part of the annuity i 'hicit had been actually disposed of to the Bank of -England, viz. 585,7401. of annuity. Another of our cotemporaries, the New Times and repre s e ntat i ve, i n i ts l ea di ng ar ti c le of this day, has fallen into an opposite, but no less glaring error, by as serting that the annuity in question ,c h a s nothing d 0 with the debt," and " that in no sense what e'er was it an addition to our debt." 'The writer of the article we allude to has exhibited the grossest ig :ranee of the subject on which he attempts to argue slid w e insert it amongst Our extracts from other 30utnals, not only with the view of exposing its fallacy, b ut to prov e th e correctness of our former assert i on , t hat this " Dead Weight Scheme " ought to be con demned, if fo r n o other cause, than for that of being un intelligible, and le'utolu • of Government in:grrb.oth supporters and opponents mucl misconception. It appears to us that a writer must have taken leave of l eis 1 1enee,. who can assert that the sale of an an nuity for 45 years, for a given Sum of money, to be received in sic years,,lias not added to the funded debt Of the country. The sum raised by it may have been applied, no matter how, to the current expenses of the country, or to the redemption of other stock--but in either case the annuity created forms a part of the Punded Debt, and cannot be omitted in correct state ments of its amount. In furthpr proof of this we shall ( "Ice more endeavour to explain this scheme to our readers, as briefly as the nature of it will enable us to 'o and we think it will be appar en t t o ever y one of the meanest capacity, that a Funded Debt has been ( Teated to the amount of the value of the annuity actually disposed of; and that if the CHANCELLOR (If the EXCHEQUER were to proceed no further with ( hie scheme than the existing bargain with the Ba nk of England, the Country would find on the 15th July, 1828, that it had received from the Bank betwe e n the 15th of April, 1823, and ttlat date the sum of 13,089,4191., for which if had Paid from the 15th of April, 1823, and was bound to luky till the 15th of April, 1867, the annual sum of 585,7401. if this is not a part of the debt, neither is the long annuity stock, which expires about the same time, which we apprehend no man can assert. To make this still more clear, we proceed then to explain the nature of the scheme, putting out of the question its object, or the way in which the money raised was originally proposed to be appropriated. By the Acts 3 Geo. IV. chap. 51, and 4 Geo. IV. chap. 22, the sum of 2,800,0001. of annuity for forty five years, is assigned to certain great Officers of State as trustees, for paying into the Treasury specific sums at fixed periods. To raise these sums in each ytar, they were empowered to sell all or part of this annuity, but being unable to find a purchaser for the whole, they disposed of to the Bank of England 585,740/. of this annuity, in consideration of the Bank paying to them in each year up to the 15th of July, 1828, such a sum as with the remainder of the annuity, - viz.- 2,214,260/. per annum, made up the precise sum which the Trustees were to pay into the -Exchequer. This is distinctly shown by the following table : Sum to be received Remainder of Sum to be paid in each year, end. the Annuity of Total of two in each year, ing 15th July, from £2,800,600 re. last Columns, ending the 15th the Bank of Eng. ceivedbyTrus. being the pre.

If on the other hand, the scheme is to be con- tinued, the nation will, for the remainder of the an nuity, when it shall be sold, receive its value, according to the then relative price of other public Securities. , The reasons for abandoning this scheme, appear, however, to be so universally admitted, that we hesi tate not to declare our belief, that it will be got rid of, with the termination of the existing bargain, except as far as the payment of the annuity of 585,7401., which will remain as a monument till 1867, of one of the worst financial expedients which was ever devised. The imaginative system of Drs. GALL and SPURZHEIM was never more learnedly perverted in these wrongheaded times than its redoubtable rival the theory of political economy—in which some men have lately become so expert that they burn to enlighten the world, and particularly the unbelievers in the innocence of the Corn Laws, with the superabundance of theirknowledge upon a subject so profound and interesting. Among these worthies, we may class the writer of an article in the Herald of this morning, upon the Corn Laws, which will be found in our last page. The writer very gravely says that " the Corn Law question is a great humbug ;",and nobody who reads his article will doubt the truth of the observation, for he has cooked up a pretty kettle of fish out of the Corn Laws. He says that importation is a " humbug," except it be subject at all times to a fair tax, about 12s. per quarter, which would bring the price up to about 605., and farmers could grow wheat at that price : and again, he says, that if there were no tax at all on importation, it would be the same thing to the country in the long run, so far as land was concerned, because we cannot import any description of land produce, without exporting an equal quantity of land produce in payment. Here is a precious jumble of words. We cannot pay for corn but by the produce of the land ! Cannot we pay for it by the produce of our manufactures and commerce ? If one country is chiefly agricultural, and has a sur plus to dispose of, but wants commercial articles—will she not rather go for them. to a commercial than an agricultural nation ? Surely she does not want to be carrying coals to Newcastle, as this economist would infer, by saying that the produce of land must be paid for by the produce of land. If he want ed fish in exchange for his gain, would he expect it from the produce of the land or sea ? But the writer is evidently at sea with his subject ; but cannot call up one spirit from the vasty deep of his Corn L aws . "If we get 100 millions of wheat from foreigners, it must be repaid by an equivalent in money or some thing else. Why, to be sure it must—we cannot expect that foreigners would give us the produce of their land for nothing. But what has this to do with the Corn question ? We would not take more corn from foreigners than we had occasion for, and if we can not grow enough for home consump tion, is , it not proper that we should have free ac cess to those who could supply our wants with out the tax of the corn-grower at home, who, like the dog in the manger, can not supply us himself, and would not let others do it ? But this precious i advocate of " the Corn q uestion sa y s, that n conse quence of our importation of wheat , " the land, thrown out of cultivation, so far as wheat was concerned, would inevitably come back, in the long run, to a state of cultivation, or produce of some other sort. As a principle, therefore, it matters not to the landed inte rest, in the long run, whether wheat be imported tax. free or not." Now, here is a flat contradiction to the first part of the assertion, that " the Corn Law question is a hum bug question with ou t a tax ;" and now it does not matter to th e grower w h et h e r it is tax free or not !

The money for the Payment of the Colombia n Dividends is always sa id to he coming. Our City Correspondent informs us that he has seen a letter from Bogota, dated the 19th of July, which says—one million of dollars are soon to be put at the disposal Of our Agent at London, for the payment of the interest of the Loan. The Government of Colombia will soon . , prove that they have the means to pay tne interest on the Loan contracted in London;. and though the money has not been sent as yet so regular as could be wished, it will, nevertheless, be forwarded without delay. He also informs us, that advices have been received in the city from Jamaica, mentioning that Vice Ad= miral Sir L. W. HALSTED, in consequence of the term of his command having expired, is to return to England in the /sis, and that• it is expected, that that ship will bring home a quantity of dollars, as 82,000 were at Jamaica on account of the Colombian Go vernment. If the unfortunate Bondholders are to wait the arrival of the /sis, their patience will be put to a further trial, as the ship which is to relieve her is only fitting out at Deptford, and not likely to be ready for some weeks. To show our readers the expeditious way in which we do business, we need only mention that a robbery was committed at our Office last night ; the thieves caught this morning ;' our evidence proved the fact at Bow -street ; the culprits committed for trial this afternoon, and - we have now the pleasure to announce the fact.

They stated that the defendant had been the clerk of the plaintiff; that ha had agreed to obey all orders; that he had been directed by the plaintiff to accept bills on behalf of the plaintiff, but not to more than 20001.; that he had however accepted them to more than 24,0001 - that he was also indebted to to Austin, Gregory, and Co., but not to an unreasonable amount; he had accepted for 'them to the amount of 49,0004 by which the plaintiff had lost considerable sums of money, and the present action 'was brought for the damages. Mr. SCARLETT stated the case. The plaintiff had car ried on the business of a haberdasher in Bread-street, Cheapside, for the last fifty-seven years ; in the course of which he had got a very extensive and respectable con nection. Having gradually retired from the bustle of business, he principally resided in the country, only visit ing town occasionally. Having found defendant very active in business, he had intrusted him with the power stated in the pleadings. He had taken upon himself the character of a banker in the same; that is, he allowed persons, par ticularly in the country, to draw bills upon him which he accepted, being at some time or other supplied with re mittances to meet those bills. Austin, Gregory, and Co. was one of the houses thus authorised to draw upon him, but Venn never was authorised to accept for them on behalf of the plaintiff to an amount exceeding 2,5001. at a time. He had, however, done so to an nnmense amount, unknown to the plaintiff, until the bankers of plaintiff, surprised at seeing the plaintiff's name on so many bills, sent for the plaintiff, to know from him per sonally whether he was or was not aware of the extent of his acceptances. The plaintiff She astonished at the com munication made to him by his bankers on this occasion. Austin and Co. soon afterwards stopped payment, leaving the plaintiff a considerable creditor; all the dividends pro duced by the estate of the bankrupts had been paid, and yet the plaintiff was a loser to an amount of more than 15,000/. The defendant was now in business for himself, and the action was brought for the purpose of recovering the 15,0001. against him, the loss having been occasioned by, as was alleged, his breach of contract. There was great reason to suppose that if he could not now pay the 15,000!. he would hereafter be able to make it good. There were some other little matters that the plaintiff might have thrown into his claim against the defendant, if he had chosen, but he was pleased Rot to press those. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE wished to know whether this could not be settled out of Court's Mr. GURNEY appeared for the defe n d ant , w h ose great business, in which he WO for himself, only consisted in keeping a little chandler's shop. A consultation took place between the learned gentle man at the Bar, and then, Mr. Seam. Err stated, that as the defendant had been an old servant of the plaintiff's, he nlo‘ diti , ,t , wish to press hea vily on hi m , an d t h ere fore be woul d propose, th a t a ve rdict for 15,0001. s h ou ld be taken for the Plaintiff, giving the defendant t wo years to paY it in, and un d erta ki ng not to issue execution, on that verdict, unless the Master of the Court of King's Bench eheald find 9)011` an inquiry , which he should be at liberty to • 't he institute , that t defendant had concealed property'. The defendant's Counsel agreed to this, and the verdict was recorded. his Lottustur thought the plaintiff rola conducted him self with great jerky towards the defendant. This was one of those eases that astonished people, that experience did not teach mankind, that whenever one man began to accept bills for the accommodation of anot h er , the practice would never cease until one or both parties were totally ruined, WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY•) IRELAND V. SWEENEY. This was an appeal from an order of affiliation made sometime since before Sir Richard Birnie and Mr. Halls, at the instance of Wizabeth Ireland on Major Sweeney. She now appeared in a pro fusion of fur, red hair, and native assurance, while the non-paternal Major was ruminating with a lengthened visage on the fortune of war. "My soul's in arms, and eager for the fray," was written on the index ofeach, but to the great disappointment of both parties and a crowded Court, an informality was discerned iu the notice of appeal, which tendered it invalid ; and Mr. Alley contended, that by the 49th Geo. 111. no decision of the Court could be bind ing anteing that notice was valid, and served at the specified time. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the appellant-1 ant sorry the case cannot be entered into, as it is one of the most infamous that ever came before a Court. _ Mr. ALUM—Now really this is not to be endured. The order was made by two most respectable Magistrates. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Yes, upon exports evidence. Here an un fortunate gentleman is hampered with a child, in whose creation, he says, he had no more to do than a stranger, and I trust the court will interfere so far as to reduce the weekly allowance.— The appellant is one of those meritorious men, who, after the service of their best years in the defence af their country are pro. vided with no very liberal compensation under the name of half pay, and in addition to the expence of a large family, out of 10., per day, he has had this child fixed on him at 6e. per week, which I hope the court will reduce to 4s. Mr. ALLEY.—I am willing to consent to its reduction to five shillings, on an understanding that no farther proceedings be instituted. The sum was ultimately fixed at 41. 6d.. a week, Mr. Adolphe' remarking that they had had a true Betty Ireland to-day, Thomas Fleming, was indicted for an indecent assault on Bridget Anne Colloughley. The prosecutrix stated, that he was her cousin by marriage, and had frequently visited her husband. On the day in question he had done so, and went out with him. After watching hint to the shop where he worked, the prisoner returned, and after asking her to fetch some gin, remarked that her husband would not be home that day, and began to ill use her. She resisted ; but he forced her from the chair on to the floor, and held her down so forcibly, that she was nearly overcome. She bit his cheek, and tore his • hair, and by that means got away from him; during the struggle, however, he took liberties with her. Ile tore her gown nearly from her person, and bruised her arm and neck ; she told him ehe would tell her husband when he came home, which she did directly she saw him ; she cried out, but there was nobody on that floor to hear her. A female witness proved the state of alarm in which she found her lying on the bed, half an hour (by her account) after the oc currence. The prisoner stated in defence, that he bad known the prose cutrix, and had seduced her in Ireland, and had been invited to visit her ; he then indulged in malicious reflections on her charac ter, not one word of which was 16 the purpose.—One year's im prisonment. William Davies, a military-looking man with a wooden leg, was placed at the bar on three separate indictments for obtaining money under false pretences. The first prosecutrix was Mrs. Frances Smith, widow, who deposed that he came into her shop, and taking her hand, said, that she little knew how nearly she was related to him ; he was in fact her husband's brother, expressed great joy at seeing her well, told her he had 20s. a-day pension, and would be a great friend to her and her family. Ile told her that he had called to know how they were situated, and took down a portrait of her husband, and asked her if she did not see a likeness in it to him. This he told her with such apparent candour, that she verily believed he was her husband's brother. In describing his own fa mily, he said that his wife was very ill, and that he wanted a few shillings to get some medicine; he would repay it when his agent returned to town, and would then provide for herself and family. She had never seen her husband's brother, and had been told that he had left the country 22 years ago. She lent him a sovereign, and informed her brother of what had happened. The latter sus pected and apprehended him. The brother deposed that the last witness had informed him of the fact, and hearing the report that a wooden leg was in the neighbourhood •he gave chase and took him. • ' The prisoner read a very eloquent address, in which he did not attempt to justify, but to excuse, on the score of extreme poverty, his conduct to the widow. Mr. MARATAT, the Chairman, commented severely on the en ormity of robbing the widow and the fatherless. He was found " guilty" on this indictment, and pleaded guilty to the other two. Seven years transportation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE.—(Tuts Ds v.) Ann Fletcher was placed at the bar, accu s ed of being drunk and disorderly last night, in the house of Henry Arkin%ll, with whom she lodges.—Fined be. Ann Dryden, a girl of 14, was charged by her mother with using abusive language, and threatening to have her life. The mother was ordered to take the prisoner home and chastise her. _ . Two pauper boys of this parish, named 'Miry Horsdell and Edward Owen, were convicted of violently beating an old man, named John King, ou Wednesday last, and of behavitig insolently to their superiors before and since.--Committed. David Watson and James Taylor were charged with stealing a watch, the property of Mrs. Phebe Turner, 20; Seynunu•-street. It appeared in evidence that Mrs. Turner's daughter saw the prisoner Taylor ascend the area steps leading from the kitchen, at 11 o'clock this morning, upoii which she gave the alarm to her mother, who was in the kitchen. The latter immediately rushed into the front kitchen, and missed her watch, which was seen hanging on the droller about five minutes before by the daughter. The mother then went to look for Taylor, and upon turing. the corner of Frederick -street, she saw the two prisoners standing together in the street, and another man walking front them, but could not say that he was with them. She went up to them and charged them with stealing her watch; they denied, however, and offered to go with her to be searched. She sent for an officer, who came and searched them, but did not find the watch on either of them.—Taylor detained and Watson discharged. lIATTON GARDEN..(THIS DA Y. ) Mansfield and Parker, two young 'men, who stood charged with a daring highway robbery, wore brought up for final exami nation. About a week since, Mr. Layton, a respectable under taker, residing in Clerkenwell, was mat about eleven o'clock at night, on Holborn-hill, on his way home, by the prisoner Mansfield, who called him by name, and declared be knew him. They walked together as far u Cow Cross, the prisoner observing, " Though you do not recollect me now, you shall know me before we ' part." When arrived at the cornet: of Sharp's-alley, the prisoner pressed Mr. Layton to take something to drink, which he refused, and was instantly seized round the neck, and his neckerchief taken off. At the in stout the other prisoner, whom he had not before seen, nude his appearance, and struck him a violent blow on the head, which brought him to the ground. He called "watch " loudly, and on recovering his feet, ascertained that hirr Over watch and appen dages had been taken from his fob, the front of which was much torn, and a rule taken from his side-pocket. They were pursued and taken by some watchmen, and near the spot was found the handkerchief and rule. The watch, however, was not found, nor have any traces of it been discovered. On the first examination, at which the evidence was not fully entered into, the prisoners protested their innocence, particularly Parker, who said he could satisfactorily prove an alibi. In this, however, he failed, and they were both fully committed.

A curious error appears in one of the papers giving the verdict of a Coroner's Inquest on a glutton who was chocked by voraciously devouring part of a goose. The verdict was, died by sqffbcation, which was print ed stuirocation.—Bath Herald. BUCKINGHAM versus BANK Es.—The trial of this long-pending Case, of which a brief outline was given in our Paper of yesterday, having occupied nearly ten hours in the hearing, the Public Journals generally could not include more than a small, and necessarily 'imperfect,. portion of the whole. As,, however, the questions involved have long excited a deep interest in literary circles, we are requested to state that a verba tim Report of the proceedings of the day, taken down by an experienced short-hand writer for the purpose, will be given in the Oriental Herald, to be published on the let of November next. The eloquent opening speech of Mr. Brougham—the 'solemn, but unsup ported, asseverations of Mr. Gurney,—the unjusti fiable breach of trust and confidence committed by Mr. Murray,—the evidence by which it was vainly attemp ted to justify the conduct of Mr. Bankes,—the power ful and impressive. Appeal of the leading counsel in reply, the cautious and moderating directions of the Judge,—and the deliberate Verdict, after this, of an honest and impartial Jury,—all deserve to be fully and faithfully recorded, as a warning to evil doers, and a beacon of hope and consolation to the victims of un merited slander, however, humble the pretensions of the sufferers, or, however " ancient" the " family,'" or " splendid" the " fortune" of th e i r op p ressors . • DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Jane Shore was on Thursday evening performed at this Theatre, for the purpose of introducing Miss Ellen to ext e l b o th i n trage d y " Fair I l enitent." The a T m r e b e i t o n n the f ct hi a s y c o t e u r n g o f l a t d h y e and comedy, though well intenaed, is rather prepos terous, and we are appreivaisive will be unsuccessful. All however that could be done for the character she did, and in its more pathetic parts, threw an air of great interest over her performance. But the part itself is heavy—dreadfully heavy ; a fault which it chews in ,common with the whole play : so that the languor which pervaded the audience throughout, must not be attributed to want of talent in its heroine.. We advise her, nevertheless, to be more.cautious in the nature of her performance, and not toffy at too lofty limit!. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.- FRIDAY, OCT. 20.
